CSEET - Conference on Software Engineering Education and Training 2012

Opportunities and Challenges of Software Engineering Education

“The rapid and continuing growth of the software industry creates opportunities and challenges for software engineering education. For example, how can educators effectively meet the need for large numbers of software engineers? How can we tailor the training of the software engineers to industrial needs at different levels? How can we introduce experience from industry into the curriculum? Also, how can software engineering principles be integrated with each country's special culture?

-The incorporation of leading edge research developments into academic programs.

-Ensuring academic programs match actual "Real-World "needs.

In addition to these two specific academic themes we also invite submissions that address other particular elements of:

-Current and future issues in Software Engineering education and training.

To support these themes the conference will feature:

-academic research papers

-in-depth teaching/training experience reports

-short papers

-“work in progress” reports

-highly collaborative workshops

-panel sessions

-practice and methods presentations, and tutorials

-posters

It is also intended that authors of selected papers and reports will be given the opportunity to extend their papers for publication in a major educational journal.

A special one-day parallel event: the Academy for Software Engineering Education and Training (ASEE&T) will be held on Tuesday April 17, 2012 which will enable new software engineering educators to learn from master instructors in a highly dynamic, hands-on, interactive environment.
